You know you're an otaku when...

- you see something similar that happen in a scene and point out "OMG THAT HAPPEN IN [Insert w.e you think its from] SERIES!"- Your wallpapers are usually from Anime series/Game series- 80% of your music is Anime

You are extremely cynical and writes sublime novel-mangas that criticizes the real-life and you get a literature prize for it.

You hate boobs, dyed hair, moeshit, and intentional naked-ness because they are way too fake, the ones who have them are all dangerous, corrupted, and evil succubuses. They only want your attention and money.

- When you start acting like their favorite character.- When you insult someone of "baka!" instead of "stupid!"- When you cellphone music playlist are fulfilled of anime op's/ed's/insert/character cd songs.- When you realize that you've seen more than 100 animes.- When you cried with deaths and tragic moments on manga/anime.- When you realize you know a lot about anime/manga more than your friends.- When you see that most of the songs that you mapped are all op / ed / insert songs from anime.

And all. Other else are just "liking anime/manga/Japanese culture" not being otaku. I can not understand what is good about being an otaku. A person who goes to school, talks with friends, falls in love with a real girl/boy, does other things except Japanese-related stuff and still calls himself/herself as an otaku. That is not what otaku means.

WHY AM I BEING SERIOUS IN A THREAD LIKE THIS
